Dissolving a company that has not traded in the UK is a straightforward process when handled properly. Companies House allows companies that have not engaged in any business activities or transactions to apply for **voluntary dissolution**. Here are the steps to follow:

### Steps to Dissolve a Non-Trading Company:
1. **Ensure Eligibility for Dissolution**
– The company must not have traded, sold goods or services, or carried out any business transactions.
– There should be no unsettled debts or obligations to creditors.
– The company should not have changed its name in the last three months.

2. **Close Bank Accounts and Settle Obligations**
– Close any bank accounts and ensure all outstanding liabilities, including tax liabilities, are cleared.

3. **Distribute Any Remaining Assets**
– If the company holds assets, these should be distributed among shareholders before dissolution.

4. **Inform HMRC**
– Notify HMRC of your intention to dissolve the company to avoid unnecessary tax filing obligations.

5. **Submit Form DS01 to Companies House**
– Complete and file the **DS01 form** with Companies House. This form must be signed by a majority of the company’s directors.
– Pay the required filing fee (currently £10).

6. **Notice in the Gazette**
– Once the DS01 form is filed, Companies House will publish a notice in the **Gazette**. There is a two-month objection period for any interested parties to contest the dissolution.

7. **Final Confirmation**
– If no objections are raised, Companies House will strike the company off the register, and the dissolution will be complete.
